From Lane Cove Bushland

Warraroon Reserve is part of the Sydney Bioregion, which is classified as one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet.

Over ---- plant species are endemic to the Sydney region.

Doug Benson and Jocelyn Howell (1990) write:

"In Warraroon Road Reserve, Elaeocarpus reticulatus and Pittosporum undulatum are abundant beneath large trees of Angophora costata along the upper reaches of the creek. The dense understory includes Bursaria spinosa, usually a sign of soil fertility, and three species of Cyathea, while ground cover plants include Dianella revoluta and Pteridium esculentum. Saltmarsh and mangroves are still found lower down in Hodgson Park where the creek flows into Tambourine Bay."
